About this product

Product Information

Antiquities have been pawns in empire-building and global rivalries; power struggles; assertions of national and cultural identities; and cross-cultural exchanges, cooperation, abuses, and misunderstandings--all with the underlying element of financial gain. Indeed, "who owns antiquity?" is a contentious question in many of today's international conflicts. About Antiquities offers an interdisciplinary study of the relationship between archaeology and empire-building around the turn of the twentieth century. Starting at Istanbul and focusing on antiquities from the Ottoman territories, Zeynep elik examines the popular discourse surrounding claims to the past in London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. She compares and contrasts the experiences of two museums--Istanbul's Imperial Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art--that aspired to emulate European collections and gain the prestige and power of owning the material fragments of ancient history. Going beyond institutions, elik also unravels the complicated interactions among individuals--Westerners, Ottoman decision makers and officials, and local laborers--and their competing stakes in antiquities from such legendary sites as Ephesus, Pergamon, and Babylon. Recovering perspectives that have been lost in histories of archaeology, particularly those of the excavation laborers whose voices have never been heard, About Antiquities provides important historical context for current controversies surrounding nation-building and the ownership of the past.

Reviews
About Antiquities is a valiant book that plumbs important new material in the history of Ottoman antiquities. It is not the last word so much as the start of a new discussion. That is a considerable accomplishment., [ About Antiqiuities ] forcefully [reveals] the power of archives and their capacity to fill spaces, produce knowledge, highlight personal recollections, and divulge holistic stories of archaeology, museums, objects, colonialism, and nation-building., A valuable contribution to the history of archaeology in that it both presents a wealth of different kinds of material--from postcards to private journals--and models innovative methods to mine these resources for new information...essential reading for any scholar who is interested in the history of archaeology or museum and heritage politics as they formed in the late nineteenth century., About Antiquities addresses the roots of fundamental issues in the Ottoman past of the Turkish Republic that still dominate archaeology and heritage studies. Complemented by remarkable images, Çelik elegantly frames her inquiries with cross-cultural literary analyses to illustrate the impact of the growing field of archaeology on different aspects of Ottoman culture and society. Çelik's cross-cultural methodology stands as a contribution not only to the Ottoman and Republican history of Turkey but also to the historiography of archaeology and heritage studies in general, while providing insight into the subtle but powerful role antiquities have played in the construction of national identities., A highly instructive book that opens fresh perspectives through an examination of an original and eclectic range of primary sources...there can be little doubt that Çelik has made a significant contribution to our understanding of a crucial early chapter in the histories of archaeology and the museum., About Antiquities deepens our focus on the Ottoman engagement with archaeology in the field and strategies of display...Çelik, in deceptively neat categories, opens up new avenues of research for the next generation of scholars writing against the grain of canonical archaeological works and approaches., [A] complex and wide-ranging book...[Çelik] provides a rewarding exploration of complexity in the rich history of archaeology and nation building, often from creative and unexpected angles, with acknowledgment of the echoes of these relationships in the fraught present.
